Kid Rock, Motorhead, Staind and Five Finger Death Punch are tapped to test decibel readers for an area festival in May.

Rocklahoma 2014 will feature these bands and dozens of other musicians and singers May 23-25 at Catch the Fever Festival Grounds, 1421 w. 450 Road in Pryor, Okla., and the all-ages event will be even more impressive than last year’s festival, said Joe Litvig, an executive producer for the festival.

“It’s going to be a really fun, great thing this year,” he said of Rocklahoma, which also will feature Thousand Foot Krutch, Black Label Society, Deftones, Texas Hippie Coalition, Skid Row, Cinderella’s Tom Keifer, Black Stone Cherry and We As Human, among others. “There initially was some concern in my head that we were going to have a hard time topping last year’s Rocklahoma, but we’ve done it now.

“We’ve been able to get some wish-list acts to play this year that we’ve wanted to play our festival all along,” Litvig added. “Those wish-list acts include Kid Rock, and getting Twisted Sister to come back to the festival has been a great thing, too.”

The multi-stage festival will feature camping, as well as music by Devour the Day, Pop Evil, Adelitas Way, Down, Kix, Killswitch Engage, Filter, Trivum, Black Tora and others, he said.

“Last year, we did just north of 20,000 people per day, so we are shooting to have 25,000 people each day for our event in May,” Litvig said. “We continue to grow and draw more people each year. I think the festival’s reputation is speaking for itself.”

Regarding Motorhead’s recent cancellation of the band’s spring European tour because of singer-bassist Lemmy Kilmister’s recent health problems, Litvig remained optimistic that Motorhead will play Rocklahoma. The European dates were dropped after Kilmister collapsed on a stage, with Kilmister later recuperating under his physician’s care, according to www.imotorhead.com.

“I was with Motorhead’s agent in Nashville just a couple days ago, and he said that Lemmy is in the best shape of his life now,” Litvig said. “Lemmy is taking care of himself now, and we’re excited that he and Motorhead will be coming to Rocklahoma. We’re hoping Lemmy will be around for a long, long time.”
